Sun tower is unfun

[Wolviller111]

I've been enjoying this game a lot and played through the first 4 bosses basically in 1 sitting, but now i've gotten to the sun tower.

I really, really do not enjoy this biome. So much platforming with vertical mobility and literally every enemy has homing projectiles. It sucks.
And the boss is the complete opposite, being a claustrophobic ♥♥♥♥ room.

Can't wait to be done with it.
Your thoughts?

I actualy love this biome. Once you unlock an additional jump, this biome become much easier to climb, and ennemy are actualy quite easy in general too.

This boss is one of my favorite, especialy in later NG+.

But i've always been a platformer player ( celeste, super meat boy, etc etc... ) so i can understand that other can have a much harder time in it.

It's my favorite section of the game, awesome music, awesome visuals, satisfying platforming and I love the zoomed out camera and swarms of bullets in the outside areas.

That said it becomes significantly more enjoyable and forgiving with one extra jump rune and optionally an extra dash too, so I can understand the pain if you don't have those runes yet. The difficulty and enjoyment of it seems to vary massively between players who found a jump rune and those who didn't.

Use a jump rune if you have it, if not keep opening fairy chests to the best of your ability until you find it. Extra jumps are immensely helpful for the boss as well.

I actually found both the biome and the boss easier than the study, but then again I still can't fight any canvas at all

Astromancer is an absolute superhero here. Their talent gives invulnerable free flight that almost always lasts long enough to reach the next platform, and it recharges after a few seconds. If you absolutely need to, you can also hover by spamming attack until it recharges. All of the platforming becomes 100% trivial. The class is pretty good against the boss, too.

Can't say I dislike this biome (that honor goes to Pishion Dry Lakes, random enemy jumpscare go!) but I get why you think so. The tower itself requires a fair amount of platforming skills while the boss is a bullethell nightmare fuel.

Extra vault/dash runes or classes like ranger and astromancer will help you go through that place if you're still having problems.

Also, its music absolutely slaps.

Yeah, like everyone else here, the lake is unfun, I find all other zones to be just fine, but the fact that you cant see 100% of the screen regardless of your traits is just not a fun mechanic at all.

disagree. probably the best area in the game. Kerguelen Plateau is the worst imo; boring rooms and nothing unique going for it even with the burden that ads large crystals/ nightmares.

Love this zone. dartin' around and using the rotating things to jump around feels cool to chain together other things.

Can't wait to get that extra jump rune I keep hearing about lol. Till then, I guess I'll run astromancer on it.

[DogFrog]

Compared to the lake its pretty awesome, the lake is straight up annoying.

Everything people complain about Sun Tower are some of the things that makes it my favorite area. Beating it without having jump or dash rune was all the dopamine. It got waaaay easier after getting those runes.

I have a great new for you : Fun is subjective. You're welcome.

[Nightshade]

Completely agree. Hated the Sun Tower.

Flip on House Rules, especially flight, and put it behind you as soon as possible.

Sun Tower is the Clock Tower of this game. So, just like in Castlevania, it's the area that just ruins every happy memory you have of this game, just by existing.
It alone nearly didn't make me want to even start NG+1.

lol.. I kinda agree but it's not that bad once you get to know it! the Lake in the other hand...I actually found the perfect class for the lake..Ronin!
